Charlie Shin Photography

We were completely satisfied with our engagement and wedding pictures done by Charlie Shin Photography. Charlie is so easy to work with and his pictures are nothing short of amazing! I never once worried about how our pictures would turn out because I knew Charlie would do an amazing job. He has all the characteristics you would want in a photographer; he is fun, sweet, energertic, and creative. He even has own Kangnam style dance to get everyones attention and it works!! We are so thankful we got to use Charlie as our wedding photographer. We appreaciate all he did to make our wedding day and pictures perfect!! Thank you Charlie!

Photography was the most important part of my wedding . We found CSP after emailing a lot of photographers and videographers. After our first meeting, I knew he has to be my photographer. I booked his team right away. He is really sweet, always smiling and took the most beautiful photos of my wedding. CSP made us comfortable, laugh and took gorgeous photos. All my family and friends commented on how beautifully Charlie and his team captured our wedding. If you are looking for a really talented, friendly photographer,I highly recommend CSP. Love!

One of my good friends had used Charlie for her wedding 2 years ago, so I was familiar with his work. He puts together a memorable photo album & is very creative with the poses & pictures that he takes. I will absolutely use him in the future & would highly recommend him!

Charlie was very responsive to questions. My daughter had specific pictures she wanted and the photographer was able to take them all. In fact, he was so unobtrusive that we didn't really even notice him, which is what you want in a wedding.

My mom and I met with Charlie while we were looking at vendors, and immediately felt comfortable with him and were impressed with his work. We booked one photographer for the day, one of his assistants. We were lucky enough to have both the assistant and Charlie show up on the wedding day for our pre-ceremony pictures, ceremony and the group photos afterwards. For the reception we just had the assistant. I am so glad we had to photographers during the ceremony because they caught multiple angles of events. It was also good during the photo shoot afterwards because the assistant positioned the lights and screens while Charlie took pictures; I'm not sure how that would have worked out with only one photographer. I was pleasantly surprised to receive the internet link to my pictures within a few weeks. Looking over them, there were a few changes I would have made, such as keeping the flowers from the ceremony in the background of our group pictures. During the reception, we didn't get as many pictures with other people as I would have liked. There were several pictures when we are looking away from the camera because we are looking at a friend's camera, and I would have liked the photographer to be more assertive to get the same shot on his camera - I was too flustered and excited to think about telling everyone to take another. There were also several people that weren't in any pictures. Overall I am very pleased with the picture quality. However, the website itself is very user unfriendly. It was difficult to pick out my pictures for the album because I had to go back and forth between different pages to look at them closely, and then to choose or delete some. Sometimes the pictures were in order, and sometimes not. And sometimes the site was working and sometimes not. It was very frustrating to go through the pictures. I haven't received my photo book yet so I can't comment on that yet.

We worked with Charlie on our annual event and it was absolutely fantastic. He had a fast turnaround time for the photographs and was wonderful to work with - he got back to us quickly, was on time for meetings, showed up to each event on time and didn't leave until the end of the night. His photos turned out beautifully and we couldn't be happier. Overall it was a very enjoyable experience (as it should be!).

Charlie Shin Photography is the best in the business. I am a Catering Manager and have seen my fair share of photographers (and teams) but Charlie Shin Photography went above and beyond our expectations. The quality work is exceptional and all the images from our Wedding and Photo sessions made our special day just perfect. Most brides and grooms have the issue of picking a few images that they love, but for us, we had the difficulty of trying to narrow down what we did not like. Charlie and his team are definitely dedicated, hard working, and have a keen eye to see the perfect picture. Thank you Charlie, Nick, and to the rest of the team for such a memorable experience. We promise to come back when we have children!!

I had a wedding in Jeju island in Korea. My friend in New York gave Charlie Shin photography information. After many conversation, I decided to go with him.
Love his photography style. Love it!

Charlie was fantastic! We had a blast with him, he wasn't just telling us what to do but interacting with us as well! It was like we all had known him for years. All of our pictures came out beautifully and were very quick! I would recommend him to everyone!

I got married on 10/28/11. Today is 1/16/12 and I have yet to choose from the pictures that were taken by Charlie Shin and his team. The photos are so good that we are having a hard time choosing 130 images for our wedding album. We gave Charlie and his team full creative control of our wedding photos. We simply did not put him in a box and make him take photos based on a pre-determined list of shots. And because of this, the photos turned out fantastic. Charlie and his team were creative and a joy to work with. My family still remembers the funny photographers. The first thing anyone who views our photos want to know is, "Who is the photographer?" We will always use Charlie Shin and his team for our photos. He is truly a five star photographer!

I would definitely recommend Charlie Shin Photography. I was pleased after meeting them. After we booked them, They always kept me informed on what they needed from me and answered my questions quickly. On our wedding day, Charlie and his team was so much fun to work with. I didn't need to ask them to take any particular shots because I trusted that they would know what would work and what wouldn't. In the end, we are very happy with all the beautiful moments Charlie and His team captured. Charlie also makes you feel like a superstar...which is always fun!

Charlie and his team did an amazing job capturing all the important moments from our wedding-- from intimate to fun moments that made us smile. We just viewed our wedding photos and they were just breathtaking. Charlie combines class with an uniquely artistic modern flair. I would recommend him to all my friends.

I got really good service from Charlie.
He was wonderful for our big date!!
If you want to get number one service for your big date,
I strongly recommend to you!

I had over a year to plan my wedding, and the only part that was stressful about the planning was finding someone to capture all the special moments on our special day. Our wedding took place at Herrington on the Bay, in Maryland and everything in the area were over our budget for what we wanted. A very close friend of ours referred Charlie Shin Photography. My husband and I took the chance to book our event with him and we were so happy we did! He knew exactly what we wanted and the easiest person to work with. He is not one of those photographers that made taking pictures with a big group stressful(i have a huge family). He captured so many fun and very memorable moments. I am super satisfied with all of our photos - looking at our pictures makes us feel like we were there again. We got so many compliment from our friends and families with our photos. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a event photographer. You will not be disappointed!

Excellent and very attentive! The pictures are fabulous!

Charlie went above and beyond what most photographers do for their clients. He provided me the photos in a timely manner...quicker than any of my friends received their photos. He focuses on the small details...the small details of the photos, capturing the most amazing and precious moments of the wedding and reception; the small details of service, for example, sending me a slideshow with music that was important to us of our wedding out of nowhere! It is the little things that count in life, and Charlie knows how to tap into those! I would recommend him to ANYONE! If he can shoot a week long Indian wedding without missing a moment or a beat, he can do any wedding! Love Charlie of Charlie Shin Photography!!! :)

Charlie and Sharon were amazing photographers at our wedding!! We had a wonderful time both at our engagement session as well as before, during and after our wedding. Thank you so much for your creativity and uniqueness which made our day so special and memorable!! Charlie was VERY timely and organized. If you are looking for a photographer that is different from all of the rest and affordable, go with Charlie Shin! His packages include so much more than many other photographers in the area who charge more $$$ and his quality is WAAAAAAAY above theirs - Trust me, my husband and I looked before we made our choice and none topped Charlie's studio.

Charlie and his crew were absolutely fantastic. The pictures were beautiful and they did a fantastic job capturing all the right moments during the wedding. Charlie's services are very reasonably priced and they deserve every penny we paid them. I strongly recommend their services to those of you who are seeking a wedding photographer and/or a videographer.

I'm very happy with Charlie's work. He took great pictures of my wedding and really captured the day. His assistant Sharon was also great to work with and she's very personable. My pictures were ready for me to view the week after my wedding. I had the draft of my wedding album a little more than a week after I gave him my picture selections. I LOVED the video of my pictures that he put together to music. It was incredible and a nice way for me to share my pictures with people. Charlie is very focused when he's working and may come across as not warm, but he's a really nice guy and he takes amazing pictures. He's just focused on his art and it's worth it. His wedding books are the best I've seen and that's the main reason I chose him. His creativity is outstanding. Most of my wedding guests said that didn't even notice him during the wedding or reception and I thought that was great!! That meant that he was doing his job and blending in while taking great pictures! I felt like he offered a lot for the price. I really enjoyed working with him and I LOVE his final product.

Charlie and his team are phenomenal!!! Charlie shot my older sisters' weddings and two of his team members shot my wedding!!! The pictures were absolutely breath taking and I could not have asked for better photographers! Photography was the one thing that had to be ABSOLUTELY perfect for my wedding... and that's what Charlie and his team guaranteed me! They stood by their word 110%!!! :)

Charlie was great! He offered professional advice when needed and was not an "in your face" photographer. He also recommended good vendors to me. I saved a lof of money. On wedding day, he captured fantastic images without us knowing he was there. We loved every image!!!

Charlie Shin is a true professional. He provided excellent service before, during, and after the wedding. He is quick to respond to any concern or suggestion. His cost was reasonable for the package he offered. I would highly recommend Charlie to anyone who likes a natural look in their photos with a chic style and great composition with perspective. The photos tell a great story and will be a true asset to your wedding memory collection.

I found Charlie Shin Photography (CSP) at the Dulles Bridal Showase. After interviewing several D.C. photographers, I decided that CSP had the best value in their packages without sacrificing the editorial/journalistic style that I wanted. Charlie and Sharon were the photographers for our wedding. I sent them a basic schedule (very basic), but they did not miss a beat. I got all of the photo memories that I wanted and did not feel like I had to give direction for what I wanted. When we got back the photos after the wedding (over 950), I couldn't believe how many moments they caught. We love looking at our album and are so glad that we decided to use CSP for our wedding photography.

Excellent vendor I would strongly recommend. We used the vendor for our engagement pictures and wedding very detailed in their picture taking. The vendor captured pictures we didn't even realize were taking place.

Charlie and his assistant captured such beautiful moments during my wedding. The pictures are so amazing and breath taking and I can't stop looking at them.

Charlie was, by far, our favorite wedding vendor. He is an artist in the truest sense of the word, and he captured our day perfectly. We could not ask for more from Charlie or from his work - we absolutely love our photographs and we loved working with him! If we were able to do it all over again, Charlie would be our first phone call. We look forward to working with him in the future for other special occasions and portraits. My husband and I are happy to recommend Charlie.

We had a really great experience working with Charlie Shin Photography. After our initial meeting with Charlie in Atlanta, we knew right away that we wanted to use his studio.

Choosing Charlie & K as our photographers was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process. If we ever had a question, they were very prompt in responding.

We also had a huge time gap between our ceremony and reception to take pictures with our wedding party. We were nervous that the groomsmen would start to get fidgety after too many pictures. However, Charlie & Lee kept us all laughing and made all the pictures a lot of fun to take even for the guys! All the pictures came out beautifully and they were so easy to work with. We were amazed on how they were able to capture every special moment of our day without being noticeable.

It was difficult for us to pick our favorite photos for our wedding album since we loved all. We highly recommend them for anyone that's looking for a photographer!

The Charlie's pictures are amazing! We can't believe how thoroughly, beautifully, and authentically he and Sharon captured the day. My grandmother commented that it was the first photographs that she could see love in. And my sister-in-law told my sister that my sister needed to have you take her wedding photographs too!! (lucky for my sister, Sharon is already on that job!) We are all speechless by your ability to see and capture the largest moments and the smallest details of the day. We thoroughly appreciate your time and talent. Thanks Charlie & Sharon

Charlie is a fabulous photographer. He captures your wedding in a photo journalistic view but he also takes care of the formal pictures. He was the first one that I saw at the wedding and the last one I saw when I left the reception. He is easy to work with and a joy to be around and that is something that I needed on a stressful day! I would recommend Charlie and his team to anyone looking for a photographer.

Me and my husband chose Charlie for our wedding in November this year and couldn't have been happier with our photos. Charlie and Sharon make you feel really at ease and they know exactly what they are doing so there's no time wasting which means a lot more variety of pictures to choose from. They arrived early to get the first shots of the day which i was dreading but ended up loving them all. The quality was just outstanding. There has been people that have seen the photos and wanted Charlie's number to book him for their wedding. Would not have any hesitation about recommending Charlie. The service we received after the day was exceptional as well and Charlie kept in touch. Thanks a million! Charlie and Sharon

Charlie you did a great job with the photos!!!!!!!!!

Charlie and his assistant were very professional at the wedding. They came early, listened to us on what we wanted, and took a ton of pictures without being intrusive. I never felt that they were in the way, but they got all the right shots. We haven't seen the photo album yet, but they already posted the pictures- and they are really beautiful. They are also a great deal! I'm excited to see our album and our video.

Studio Kama provided us with photography and makeup services. The photographer and 3 makeup artists arrived very early in the morning to get the ladies ready and beautiful for the wedding. They were very quick in posting the pictures up online. All the guests who saw the pictures said that they were absolutely lovely!

My husband and I were really happy with the services provided by Kama Studio. Charlie and his assistant were professional and friendly, and everything went absolutely smoothly. We're really happy with the photos, and I can't wait to see the photo album!

I regret having hired Charlie Shin to be my photographer. I did not enjoy working with him. It was a very unpleasant experience for me and I am still greatly upset by it to this day. He was rude towards my guests at my Wedding. He called my guests to apologize and I do appreciate that but an apology just doesn't feel like enough. I overpaid for his services. I do not recommend him. I should have done more research on photographers but I did not have enough time to do so. But if you want to consider him, I suggest you get to know him and his work really well before deciding to hire him. He'll probably be nicer to his future clients after realizing from my wedding how important it is to have a positive attitude, kindness, and respect towards the guests as well as towards you.

Studio Kama was great and working with Charlie (photographer) was our best choice he captured the most special moments of our special day and his work is highly recommended, a bit on the expensive side but if you love photos and what memories they leave behid it is def worth every penny. I totally recommend Studio Kama for anyone that wants perfect photos.

Charlie is an amazing photographer and was sure to capture all our special moments in a most creative and beautiful way. His photojournalistic style ensured we had a complete "story" to tell with our pictures, from start to finish, and he worked with us to create an ever so special -- and totally unique -- wedding album that we will treasure forever. Even with an assistant, additional lighting and large cameras, we *never* felt the photography was intrusive. Charlie and his assistant were always respectful and understood that even while the images were incredibly important, each moment was a feeling that could not be reproduced, nor should be interrupted. We were amazed at some of the shots in the close to 1,000 he took, in fact, as we had not remembered him being anywhere near us at those times. Charlie was also flexible in creating a package that fit our needs. The only reason we did not give Studio Kama five stars across the board is that pre/post-wedding communication at times were a challenge. In all, we could not be more pleased that we chose Charlie and Studio Kama to photograph our wedding day!

We were truly satisfied with our pictures and video from Studio Kama. Everyone worked very hard to capture our big day! We definitely recommend using them!!

Wonderful! We have the most beautiful and creative album anyone could ask for! They are very professional and took the most amazing pictures capturing the true feeling of our wedding!

They were good! They came on time on the wedding day, always responsive to your emails and calls. The pictures were nice too. Some of them are very nice and some of them are ok. I wish they took more pictures of my guest not 1000 pictures of me and my husband :) If that's what you want, tell them a head of time. otherwise two photographers will be around you all time and you end up getting same pictures from different angle. but over all, I am happy with their service and final product.

Studio Kama does an excellent job. I will definitely be using them to photograph my new baby when he comes.

Studio Kama is THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i mean with every single shots, they had wowed us :)
I am so happy with all the follow up services before the wedding and until the day before
to confirm the time with me. Time management skills were excellent as well
showed up early, all ready to roll and directing us to take more funner shots.
it was grrrreat! thanks so much again to charlie!!!!
i will definitely let my friends have you on their big day ( even though, i would like to keep you as my own photographer)
so, studio kama!!!! yes indeed!

My bridal party wasn't exactly pleased with Charlie, the photographer. Not sure if it was a language difficulty, but he was perceived as rude by some friends and family. I felt like we didn't have a lot of time for the portraits, and I didn't get as many family portraits as I would have liked. His assistant was very friendly though and the photos that we did get turned out beautifully!

They were great to work with... very professional and most importantly very creative. The photography was the best part from our wedding and I would recommend anyone who wants to have memories to cherish to use them. There were so many pictures to choose from for the album that we had a hard time picking, however, the way the album was designed is breath taking. We also had the video as well and it was equally as great.

My husband and I are both professional and highly recommend using Studio Kama!

Charlie Shin and his staff are EXCELLENT!! All of the photos were impressive and really captured the day, and I received my albums within 1 month of finalizing the layout. Most people have commented that they have never seen photos like mine, and now one of my friends is also using Studio Kama for her wedding next year. Charlie is very timely, professional, accommodating, and keeps everyone on track. I would definitely recommend Studio Kama's services to anyone looking for a quality photographer. This was hands down the best investment that we made for our wedding day. Money well spent.

Charlie and Perry were so funny and really took the time and care to make sure they caught all the moments!
I and my wife decided to meet them again later for our future baby's pictures. Thank you for your hard work.

Their photography is stunning. I love their work, and couldn't be happier with the photos that I did get. They took over 2,000 pictures. On the other hand, I got only one formal shot of me with my bridesmaids. The couple that I squeezed in of the bridal party were thrown together... So if what you're looking for are beautiful bridal/portrait shots, they're definitely for you. If you want to make sure you get your standard shots make sure you make a list...

They were very flexible with our arrangement, and that was a big plus. They were willing to work with me and what I wanted in my package, and that was key. It's one of the reasons I picked them.

They are also by far the best deal for the money. I looked at over 40 photographers and they offer way more in their package than everyone else at the same skill level.

Working with Kama was an absolute pleasure!! I would recommend them to EVERYONE planning a wedding!!!! Kama has a patient and super-courteous staff that pays very close attention to detail. They keep an open line of communication at all times throughout the planning process. Overall their professionalism was top notch, and I am just thrilled with my experience. I cannot stress enough how great it was working with them. Custom built a wedding package to meet my specific needs, and they were worth EVERY PENNY. My wedding day was PERFECT, and I have PERFECT memories to show for it all because of them!! Kama exceeded my expectations in every capacity!

We just got our pictures back last week, and I can't stop looking at them. Charlie did a wonderful job of making both of us feel comfortable and capturing "us". I couldn't have asked for better pictures. Hw was always nest to me wherever I go.

By far, one of the best decisions that I've made on wedding vendors. I truly feel lucky that I found them. They have been in the front and back of the wedding planning with me for months. They have a great team of professionals who can work with you within your budget. They are always willing to stretch their limits to meet your standards. I will absolutely recommend them to my friends for hire.

I like Charlies' job adn his staff. No hassle. I booked him one year ago because of wedding date.

Photos turn out so beautifuly. I love his job.

I absolutely love Charlie, his work and professionalism! He is creative and amazing in capturing the feeling of the wedding. Moreover, Charlie was on time for every appointment, sincerely listened to what we envisioned our wedding photos to look like and did everything he can to realize that, and went way beyond what we expected - from our casual shots to our wedding day. Also, he's just a wonderful person and that was very important to me as a bride on one of the most special, yet stressful, days of my lilfe. I recently received my wedding album, and it really reflects his work as an artist, as well as what we wanted. I love it!

I like their photo styles. Price is very reasonable.I like Charlie's work. I strongly recommend him as your wedding photographer. Good Luck

Charlie was very professional, yet down to earth and easy going. He took amazing pictures that will forever be treasured. He is innovative, non-intrusive and takes the time to make the whole process from meeting with you to pick a package to presenting you with the proofs a very special moment. We have already recommended him to our friends and he's currently booked for our friends wedding. They were that impressed!

Charlie was up there as being the most professional vendor of the day. He got there early...took great shots...was not intrustive...imaginative and just capture the day in his pictures. He knew that I wanted to remember who was at my wedding...and that is exactly what I got. He caught great moments of the day. I still (bad me) have to give him the details for my album...but that is all my fault (did I say he was patient:)

We loved working with everyone at Kama Wedding. They were easy to work with. I recommended Charlie to our friends and now they are using him as their photographer for their wedding next month.
They have a partnership with Shilla Bakery so we used them. I was able to give them what we wanted our cake to look like...they were able to create it.

Charlie Shin is one of the best photographers we know. His passion for photography creates excitement for the bride and groom along with their bridal party. Charlie is a master of his craft. We recommend him for engagement and wedding events!

Charlie is a true pro - He worked with my group to get great photos of the musicians for the bride. I have done two wedding with Charlie and hope to do tons more. He is a great guy and takes care of the vendors who work with him. I also have had great experiences talking with his employees. They are knowledgable and jumped to help us out. Thanks Charlie - hope to see you guys soon.
